Homework Policy

In an effort to reduce student stress and respond to the evolving instructional practices, SRVUSD convened a committee of teachers, students, parents and school administrators to recommend updates to SRVUSD homework policy and regulation. The committee considered and made changes related to:

Limiting the overall volume of homework;

Eliminating homework over breaks;

Developing a more effective system for communicating and implementing the policy; and

Aligning with the California State Standards and other legal requirements.

On June 23, 2015, the SRVUSD Board of Education adopted a new Homework/Make-Up Work Board Policy and Administrative Regulation. To view the Board Policy and Administrative Regulation in their entirety click on the links below:

In January and February of 2016, SRVUSD surveyed students, teachers and parents about the implementation of the survey. The following summary of the results of the survey was presented to the Board of Education at their March 8, 2016, meeting.
